A detailed rectangular engraving showing a harbor scene with sailing ships and a coastal town. The landscape is framed by an ornate border of baroque-style scrolling acanthus leaves. At the center top of the frame, a small banner contains the word "AMBOINA". In the foreground, outside the landscape frame but integrated into the decorative scrollwork, are two human figures: on the left, a man sitting on the ground leaning on one hand; on the right, a man with dark skin and a loincloth sitting and holding a staff or oar.
